Analog KVM auto switches, especially super cheap ones such as your IOGEAR, are notoriously finicky when it comes to driving high resolutions, displaying horrible artifacts, if they can drive the bandwidth at all.
The image is acceptable. The monitor has more issues than the KVM.
They also rarely pass DDC signals correctly.
IOGEAR advertises newer models that query EDID from the monitor and cache the response for the computers.
Ironically the even cheaper manual switch analog KVMs are better with DDC.
I had horrible keyboard and mouse problems with manual switches. It took me several iterations of buy, test, and return to find an electronic KVM that worked correctly.
